Risk levelHigh

0–100, higher is better. How it is calculated

Reliance Precision Limited is a UK-based technology company specializing in resilient technologies for complex environments, particularly in the defence, space, and life sciences sectors. The company positions itself as a niche provider offering innovative solutions that emphasize resilience and advanced engineering. Their website reflects a professional and modern digital presence built on WordPress with Elementor and Astra theme, optimized for SEO and mobile responsiveness. The technical infrastructure includes modern JavaScript libraries and tracking tools such as Google Analytics and Lead Forensics, indicating a moderate level of digital maturity. Security posture is generally good with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent mechanisms in place; however, the absence of security headers and published security policies suggests room for improvement. The lack of WHOIS data due to domain naming rules error limits the ability to fully verify domain legitimacy, but the website content and branding consistency support a moderate trust level. Overall, the site is functional, professional, and compliant with basic privacy requirements, though it would benefit from enhanced transparency and security disclosures.

This scan rated NIS2 with an earlier keyword method that is no longer shown; rescan for the per-article view. Risk management, continuity, supply chain, training, MFA, management oversight (Art. 20) and incident reporting (Art. 23) need internal evidence, and Guard cannot tell whether NIS2 applies to this organisation.

GDPR is indicative only, based on publicly visible signals: Articles 7, 12, 13 and 32 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 and Article 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive. Not a certification or legal assessment.

Priority findings

3 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection
    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  2. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

Results by check

Each check with its score, findings and the evidence it collected.

How this score is calculated

The security score runs 0–100, higher is better. It is the plain average of the security checks that completed in this scan, each counted equally. A check that could not run is left out: it counts neither as a pass nor as a fail.

Not counted

  • NIS2 outside view: Re-weights evidence from the TLS, email, DNS, network and hygiene checks, so counting it would count that evidence twice. Shown on its own.
  • OffSeq Observations: An AI reading of the site, useful context but not reproducible evidence. Shown on its own.

Findings that cap the score at 49

Each of these is serious on its own, so while any is present the site cannot rate better than high risk, however good the other checks are.

  • The certificate is not trusted by browsers
  • The website is not served over HTTPS
  • A database, remote desktop, file-sharing or Telnet service is reachable from the internet · found on this site
  • The page loads a script from a compromised source
  • The domain registration has expired
  • SPF authorises every server to send mail as the domain

Partial scans

When the site blocks Guard or most checks cannot run, the score covers only the checks that ran (usually DNS and email), is capped at 75 and is shown as partial, without a risk level.

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

The company operates in specialized technology sectors serving defence, space, and life sciences markets, targeting B2B clients requiring resilient and complex technological solutions. Their business model likely revolves around engineering services, consultancy, and product development tailored to high-reliability environments. The website's content and structured data suggest a focused market positioning with an emphasis on innovation and resilience. While no explicit revenue or partnership information is disclosed, the presence of tracking and marketing tools indicates an intent to engage and analyze visitor behavior for business growth. The absence of detailed contact information and corporate disclosures limits deeper business intelligence insights. Strategic observations include the need for improved transparency and enhanced digital trust signals to support growth and client confidence.

Security posture

The security maturity level is moderate, with HTTPS enforced and a cookie consent banner indicating awareness of privacy regulations. However, the lack of security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options reduces the overall security posture. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response information is published, which could hinder timely reporting and remediation of security issues. The website does not expose sensitive data or use vulnerable libraries based on the HTML content analysis. Compliance with GDPR is partially indicated by the cookie consent mechanism but lacks a formal privacy policy. Incident response readiness and security culture indicators are not evident from the website. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a small technology firm but requires enhancements to meet higher compliance and security standards.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service to improve transparency and compliance.
  2. Implement and configure security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options) to strengthen website security.
  3. Create and publish a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosure and incident reporting.
  4. Provide clear contact information including company emails and phone numbers to enhance business credibility.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and plugins to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS using the Astra theme and Elementor page builder, leveraging modern front-end technologies such as jQuery, Swiper.js, and Google Fonts. SEO is enhanced via Yoast SEO Premium plugin with proper meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD) implemented. Performance is moderate with use of CDN resources for fonts and scripts. Mobile optimization is good with responsive design elements. Accessibility features are basic but present. The site uses tracking tools including Google Analytics and Lead Forensics, indicating data-driven marketing efforts. Technical risks include missing security headers and incomplete privacy disclosures. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified from the content. Overall, the technical infrastructure is modern and functional but could benefit from security hardening and improved transparency.
Standards and sources

Reference chips under each finding point to the standard, regulation or specification the finding relates to. They are taken from the official datasets below and mapped conservatively: a finding with no defensible link shows none. NIS2 and GDPR references mark where a finding is relevant evidence, not a compliance verdict. Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690 binds digital infrastructure and digital service providers; for other entities it is the most detailed public reading of the Article 21 measures. WCAG, EN 301 549, European Accessibility Act and Web Accessibility Directive references name the requirement an automated accessibility rule relates to; they are not a conformance verdict.
